a petition just a little you that is a very sad story for for washington and it doesn't bear good sides for the future america's presidential election didn't pass without controversy this week the country's voting system has been called into question with suggestions it's easy to tamper with and the government is being accused of turning a blind eye or jesus is here to a good report. you elected me to tell you the truth honesty is the best policy while maybe not in u.s. elections two words define why people hate america double standard on everything in this presidential election season these two words are back in full swing the basic definition of a double standard is a rule or principle unfairly applied in different ways to different people or groups let's find out if this is relevant to the us election system from questionable voter id regulations to shorten to early voting time slots to

gerrymandering rejoicing congressional district lines to favor certain party laws affecting voters' rights are passed left and right and vary state by state do you have an error this video shows how easy it is to attempt to steal attorney general eric holder's vote when an idea is not required should be. yet places that do ask for a government issued photo id can affect over ten percent of americans that simply don't have one there is an attempt to prevent large numbers of people from actually exercising the ballot election monitors usually serve the purpose of keeping track of and discrepancies and while the u.s. likes to keep a close eye on the way elections are handled abroad even the carter center which grows a rod and does the great we're monitoring elections. refuses to monitor us elections on the grounds. basic standards of integrity when election ideals are not met elsewhere criticism runs rampant elections in venezuela elections in iran elections

in russia. the press will go to town on any sign that the outcome was fixed and while nit picking abroad is all the rage the elephant in the room remains unnoticed at home policymakers and to a great extent our media and and trickle down to the american people have literally the literally think that the rest of the world is stupid. that they don't see it that everybody naturally house to admit you know admire us that we're great and that's not the case well obvious flaws are met with a deaf ear and here in and year out a flawed election process continues to be the first vote cast in the u.s. and if there's a church in our party new york. after the break syria's president bashar asad speaks exclusively to r.t. with his own perspective on the bloody conflict gripping his country.

the sun rises over what seems like analyst forest but here in new directions cry for hundred kilometers north of light of all storm as in much of the world it's disappearing at a catastrophic rate. bloggers both illegal and those finding ways to outsmart the system for filing down the forests of the more skewed region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy lager set up trucks making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging

permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable timber over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests. and their chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander some morning call has been a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that they have twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no

documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he's overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now is they started city for more for all forest legislation so as soon as the polls and so on the river grabs a new forest court and according to. every forest service the guys in waltham in the in the forest through the still the forest courts still doesn't work just do what should we do with there's no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do like it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be

a start to people living in harmony with nature. president bashar al assad of syria thank you very much for talking to our team today i was talking about things so you know many people work and stay here and go they you wouldn't make it this far but yet again we're sitting in a new renovated presidential palace and recording this interview who exactly is your enemy at this point but i mean if there is an instability to this with our enemy what about people it's not about both. the whole issue is not about me staying or leaving it's about the contribute safe or not so disobey me that we've

been fighting as he says he worked to win this war how would you reconcile with your people after everything that has happened just be. again the problem is caught between me and the people i don't have a problem with people called the united states is against the west is against me in many countries including turkey which is not of course against me if the peoples of the syrian people are against me. so it's not about the call siding with the people you spoke to bob the conservation between the syrian and the syrian don't have to prove it's about terrorism and support coming from abroad to support terrorist to destabilize syria but this is a war. the infrastructure military infrastructure economy is suffering it's almost as if like syria is going to fall into decay very soon and the time is against you in your opinion how much time do you need to crush the enemy you cannot answer that question because no one claims. about when to do to end the war unless we

have the answer when they are going to stop smuggling foreign fighters from different part of the world specially the middle east and the islamic world and we're going to stop. sending our womans to those terrorists if they stop this is where i can answer your continuing leaks you can finish everything if the big problem as long as you have continuous supply in the main and all movements and everything else and logistics is going to be. also when think about it you have four thousand kilometers of loosely controlled borders you have your enemy that can at any time cross over jordan or turkey to rearm get medical care and come back to fight you exactly exactly where no country in the world came feel. the border from them for you with this word which is not correct even the united states cannot see this border with mexico for example may be the same for russia which is the

become true so not completely in the border you can only have better situation on the border when you have good relations with your neighbors something that we don't have at least thirteen of turkey's support more than any other country the smuggling of our roman interest can i ask you something i've been in turkey recently and people there are actually very worried that war will happen between syria and turkey do you think a war with turkey is a realistic scenario rationally no i don't think that's god for it for two reasons the war needs public support and the majority of the turkish people don't need this war so i don't think any russian. official would think about. going against the will of the public in his country the same for the syrian people so it's not the conflict or the difference is not between the syrian people and the turkish people because they don't offer should be between official in their field because all

their politics so i don't see any war between syria and turkey in the horizon when is the last time you spoke to the ground and how did they talk and may two thousand and eleven after he won the elections so you just congratulated him you just that was the last time it was the last why has turkey that you call the friendly nation become a foothold for the opposition. not the not turkey only guns government. only just a bit with not the turkish people thirty people news good relation with the syrian people this is a gun i think he believes that if muslim brotherhood take over in the region and especially in syria you can go to his political future this is one reason the other reason. personally think that he had been useful part of the autumn and he can control the region as it was during the. money. differently.

which is. slimy but not go to money not to be fairly for but in his how do you think that is how do you find these are the main reasons for him to change or to shift his policy from zero frames a saudi problems to zero friends but it's not just the west that opposes you at this point you have so many enemies in the arab world and that's to say like two years ago when someone heard your name in the arab world they would straighten their ties and on the first occasion they betray you why do you have so many enemies in the arab world they're not the enemies some of them the majority of the arab governments support syria in their heart they don't. do that explicitly under pressure by the waist sometimes under pressure by the pay top dollar and dollar board who supports you from the arab world many countries support syria by the whole but the two three that explicitly but for the fall you

know look. it's very active role in supporting syria to the crisis because it's neighboring country and they understand that if you have a war room inside syria you will have war in the neighboring countries including iraq. i think of a country. they have good position like. mainly in those other countries and other countries. can't all of them but. they are they have a positive position but without taking actions iran which is a very close ally also exposed to economic sanctions also facing a threat of military invasion if you were faced with an option cut ties with iran in exchange for peace in your country would you go for it there's no contradiction i don't help. until you can auction why because we had good relation with iran since seventy nine till today and it's getting better every day but at the same

time we are moving toward the peace and we had peace process we had peace negotiations iran wasn't a factor against peace so this is. information they try to promote in the west but if we if we need peace we don't have to have good relation with you on this no relation is completely two different objects that are supported syria. supported our cause or because of the occupied land and we have to support them in their cause the births are very simple iran is very important country in the region you food for looking if we are looking for stability we need good relation with iran you cannot talk about stability while you have a bad religion with iran with turkey with your neighbors and so on this is it. do you have any information that the western intelligence are financing rebel fighters here in syria no so far what we know that they are offering the knollys support of the terrorists to turkey sometimes in lebanon. mainly. but we have

the other intelligence problem with in the region some of them are very active what active in the western part of this provision. you western intelligence what's the role of al-qaeda in syria at this point are they controlling any of the rebel coalition forces no they don't think the looking to control the look to have your their own military kingdom or the moderates in their language but mainly you know they try to scare the people through explosion assassination so it was something like this to push people towards this position or to accept them as a reality so they go through by but they're finally nice to have this with the islamic emirate in syria where they can. promote their own ideology in the rest of the world do you x. . cept that the gun forces have committed war crimes against their own civilians we

are fighting terrorism. implementing our constitution. by protecting the syrian people few days ago with the internationally recognized the crime that if that was committed few days ago when they captured soldiers excluded them and human rights watch more than once about the crimes of those terrorist groups and it was described as. a crime this is the first point the second point if you have committed a crime against its people this is devoid of closure because the syrian army is made up of syrian people if you want to commit a crime against your people the army would be fired would disintegrate so you cannot have strong god you can fight on me while you're killing your people so the army cannot with a stand for twenty months in these difficult circumstances without having the embrace of the public in syria so how could you how could you have this embrace moment while you're killing your people this is

a contradiction so this advance from what it seems from the outside even if you wanted to go. you wouldn't have anywhere to go if i were to go if you want to leave to syria. or to see that this is the only place where we can leave i'm not pop at all isn't being made by the with the with all twenty other countries i'm seeing and i may be. maybe in syria and i have to leave incident by incident do you think that at this point there could be talks or diplomacy or we've reached a stage where only the army can do nothing i always believe in diplomacy i always believe and i will be i always believe even with people who doesn't understand who doesn't believe in indicted you have to keep trying whether you succeeded or not think of you all with have. success you have to look for this politics is. for you look for the good before you achieve the complete success but you have to be

realistic you don't think that only they can make you achieve something because those people who commit these acts there are two to two guys one of them doesn't believe in the special or the extremist. you have the old tools who have been convicted by the court years ago for the crisis and their natural enemy the government because they are going to be detained if you had a normal situation it's the other part of them is the people who has been supplied by the outside and the only good they can only be committed to the people or to the government will spend the money and supply them with all of them and they don't have a choice they don't have a decision they don't own their own decision so you have to be realistic and you have the third part of the people whether he is. militants or politicians who can accept the title that's why we've been in for months now even with militants and many of them give up their armaments and they went back to their normal life using

get foreign invasion is imminent i think the price of this invasion if it happened is going to be more than the whole world came before because if you have a problem in syria and you got the last stronghold of secularism and stability in the region and coexistence it's it will have a domain or fate that affect the world from the atlantic to the pacific and you know the implication or put it on the list although i don't think. with him going. we got but. nobody came here what's next if today was fifteen so march two thousand and eleven that's when the protest started to escalate and grow what would you do differently what i would do what i did exactly mark exactly to think to start to ask different parties to for to have dialogue and to stand against the terrorists but i always thought if you didn't start as modest because

their world umbrella was marcia's but within those marshes you had militants who thought that this would be and. me at the same time maybe on the tactical level you could have done something different but as president or not think you could take the decision on strategic level which is different present us how do you see yourself in ten years time. for my country i cannot see myself i can see my company in ten years time but i can see myself more as yourself in syria differently i have to be in syria the sort of hold the position i don't see myself with the president or not this is not my interest i could see myself and this country have come through cable company more prosperous country person bashar al assad of syria thank you for talking to r.t. thank you for coming through here to.
